The work
On a dark red background, almost burgundy, bodies cling to each other. One arm rises, fist clenched. A back curves. A thigh crosses in front of another. The figures do not stand out from one another: they interlock, lean on each other, close in again.
Nothing is portrait. Everything is embrace — weight, rhythm, contact.
Volumes are built up in broad planes of white, gray and black. The blacks delineate the joints and the gaps between the bodies. The whites advance the flesh.
The red is not just a backdrop: it is brushed in the same gesture, with reserves and reworkings, and isolates the figures. From afar, the work reads as a single glance: entwined characters, a tense repose, a knot.
Up close, one sees the atelier work — impasto, brush marks, the panel still visible beneath the matter.
Large horizontal format, almost sculptural in presence. The red lends this embrace a warmth that the adjoining gray room does not possess.
The panel requires a calm wall and oblique light so that the whites gain their full density.
The artist
Gundi Falk, born in 1966 in Salzburg, is a painter, sculptor and contemporary dancer by training. She studied dance and calligraphy in Asia and Europe.
Based in Brussels for many years, she develops a practice where movement, rhythm, chance and space are inseparable.
Line is not a descriptive contour: it is the trace of a body in motion.
Since 1998 she has exhibited internationally. Notable exhibitions include:
- Gallery at the Assignment Theater, Taipei (1998)
- Grand Casino Bern (2005)
- Le Corbusier, Marseille (2006)
- Museum of New Art, Pärnu, Estonia (2009-2010)
- Galerie Vertigo Art and Le Salon d’Art, Brussels (2011, 2014).
From 2011 she has collaborated with Pierre Cordier, inventor of the chemigram (1956).
Their joint works have been shown at Von Lintel Gallery, New York (Unique, 2013); Haines Gallery, San Francisco (Index and Icon, 2015); The Heckscher Museum, New York (Modern Alchemy – Experiments in Photography, 2014-2015); Paris Photo (2016); Galerie Volker Diehl, Berlin (2016); Barbado Gallery, Lisbon (2016); Galerie Anna Wenger, Zurich (The Chemigram, 2018); Galerie Gimpel & Müller, Paris (DUO, 2020-2021); Hangar Photo Art Center, Brussels (UNIQUE / Beyond Photography, 2024); La Centrale.brussels (Hosting, 2024).
Separately, her pictorial work — interlacings, constructions of nudes, lineworks — has been shown notably at Espace Art by Goralska, Luxembourg (Entrelacs – Espace de dynamisme et de souffles, 2022), RSF Paris (2025) and Galerie Marcher, Wels (Lebenslinien, 2025-2026).
Her works appear in private collections across Europe, the United States and Asia.
